  • T4G Roundup

    This is my last planned post about Together for the Gospel. I want to use it to provide some final links and information. Then I’m going to move on to other things. Or at least that’s the plan for now. T4G Audio & Video Here are links to each of the sermons: Session I Ligon…

  • T4G – Wrapup

    No sooner had the T4G ‘08 conference wrapped up than I jumped in a van with a pack of guys from my church and headed straight home. We made it back to Toronto in pretty good time and with fewer adventures than on the way down. I enjoyed talking to the guys about their impressions…

  • T4G – C.J. Mahaney

    As with the first Together for the Gospel Conference, the final session of T4G ‘08 went to C.J. Mahaney. He opted to speak from Philippians 1:3 and preached a message that was pastoral in tone—a pastoral message seeking to tend to the souls of pastors. There is no true pastoral ministry apart from proclaiming the…

  • T4G – Day 3 Photos

    Here is another gallery of photographs from the conference. Most of these are from day three of the conference, though a couple are remnants from day two: Worship. C.J. Mahaney preaching… …and preaching some more. John Piper preaching. John Piper responding to questions on the panel. John Piper delivers the Word like he might deliver…

  • T4G – John Piper

    This morning we received the last of the free books. On our seats were copies of Christ & Culture Revisited by D.A. Carson (just printed!), Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin, The Future of Justification by John Piper and one of the smaller editions of the ESV. The first session of the morning featured John Piper…

  • T4G – Al Mohler

    I received an email earlier today reminding me of a dinner engagement I had forgotten about completely. I agreed to it some time ago and didn’t bring my Outlook calendar with me. It turned out to be a great meal with excellent food and pretty good company too. We returned to the convention center to…

  • T4G – Day 2 Photos

    Here are some more photographs from the conference—these ones from day two. Worshiping through song. Worshiping the Lord together. John MacArthur receiving a medallion commemorating 25 years since the release of the first volume of the MacArthur New Testament Commentary series. There are more photos after the jump (i.e. after you click on the link…

  • T4G – R.C. Sproul

    I had a rather long and interesting (but good!) lunch today. A little while ago I read on Thabiti Anyabwile’s blog that he never actually orders at restaurants anymore, but instead asks the server to just get something he or she thinks Thabiti would like. I ate today at an Italian place and really didn’t…

  • T4G – A Welcome from Mark Dever

    Here is a brief video of Mark Dever welcoming the attendees to Together for the Gospel. He discusses both differences and similarities between the groups attending…

  • T4G – Bearing the Image

    Here is a brief video from Thabiti Anyabwile’s session where he discussed bearing the image. He spoke of identity, the work of Christ, and the church. Click below to watch and listen…

  • T4G – Day 1 Photos

    I linked up this morning with the official photographer for the conference. Unfortunately his computer blew up last night and he has been unable to upload photographs. I guess he shouldn’t have relied on a Mac; some people never learn. I did manage, though, to nab one of the memory cards from his camera and…

  • T4G – Mark Dever

    We enjoyed a break of almost an hour and then gathered together again to sing “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand” and to hear Mark Dever’s session. He discussed the temptation to improve upon the gospel. His talk was built upon five “calls” that are dangerous to the gospel—five ways churches may be tempted…

  • T4G – John MacArthur

    Day two of Together for the Gospel began early. I assume my experience is typical in that I went too bed too late last night and arose blurry-eyed so I could get some breakfast and make my way to the convention center for 8 AM. Today we will be hearing from John MacArthur, Mark Dever,…

  • T4G – Thabiti Anyabwile

    After dinner we gathered for the second session and the second panel. Prior to the session we sang “O For a Thousand Tongues” and a new adaptation of “Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus” drawn from “Come Weary Saints,” the most recent project from Sovereign Grace Music. Bob Kauflin has added a chorus which…

  • T4G – First Panel Session

    Together for the Gospel is a conference that offers many panel sessions. In fact, this year there will be five of them. The first one is the only one that featured only the four leaders of Together for the Gospel. And it began with C.J. explaining why he will be leading the panel discussions this…

  • T4G – Welcome & Ligon Duncan

    Together for the Gospel ‘08 kicked off at the rather unusual hour of 2:30 PM. Attendance seems to be somewhere in the area of 5500. While registration is open to both men and women, it seems that there is hardly equity. I’d estimate that there are 20 or 30 men here for every woman. As…
